Happy Saint Patty's Day! We made it a whole week! It has been a busy, but fun week. Labor went as well as I could have hoped for. We went to the hospital at 12:30 pm, and I was sure we would be sent home, but we were admitted and had a baby 5 hours later! Labor wasn't much fun, but I've heard it can be much, much worse.
Everett (I am still not used to calling him by his name...he has been 'baby' or 'it' for awhile!) grew in age, but not in size. He was 7 lbs 4 ozs at birth, but at his appointment yesterday he is just 6 lbs. The doc was not in the least worried. He should gain weight every week now (3 or 4 ozs a week). Everett did not sleep great for the first few nights, but now he is eating better and sleeping great. I fed him at 10, 1:30, and 5:30 last night - definietly could be worse. George helps a ton with burping, diaper changing, and just cuddling. He's a great dad already!
We are enjoying being home a lot and not working! I am feeling great - and today I will start working out again! I am going to try an easy level of a Jillian Michaels video - no promises. We'll see how it goes!
